1. How would I go about making a modification to the release plugin so that it would ask me for the version of the parent POM to use in the release build and the version to set for the parent POM for the next snapshot build? We have a master POM file that we use as a base for all our projects that I always build first and it is annoying to modify the POM to reference the new released parent POM version before I do the release and afterwards to set the next
parent POM version. I would either like to request this as a new feature or if you could give me a summary of the changes I need to make to support this, it would be great. 2. How I get the variables, that I pass to the release:prepare and release:perform goals, passed down to the subsequentbuilds that they perform? I have profiles that I want to activate and deactivate on a release build and the release:prepare test build fails because it is selecting the wrong profiles.
